Lockouts, waiting list and orders to be picked up.

Hi everybody, with the "impending" and in my country's case already bought in "lock downs" has anybody been contacted by the AD and not be able to pick up their watch? or has the AD mentioned what or if any impact this will have on your order?

I just got a call from my AD offering me a watch someone else ordered but turned it down on arrival. The shop is closed but he’s willing to ship watches.

All shops that sell non essential goods are closed here for the next three weeks at least now. Won’t be anyone picking up any new watches for a while. We’re officially on a “house ban”.

Apparently one AD in London is still taking orders over the phone.

buddy picked up a hulk and a bat girl from an AD located in a city before it shutdown. A lot of these watches were sitting around at the AD waiting for suckers to couple.

I visited my AD about 10 days ago to inquire about purchasing the RG YM on OF as a college graduation gift to myself as I’m graduating in May. That Friday of last week, they posted they were closed to further notice. So now I am waiting until they reopen to see what the time table is as far as getting the watch in stock. It’ll be ok though with a little patience all will be good.

Just got off the phone with my AD. They are closed, but coming in to do projects and whatnot. Family owned place. Says the phone is still ringing plenty with people asking about SS sports models. Even today. FWIW.

Everything non-essential closed in the UK. W.O.S.G are hoping to open again at the beginning of the financial year (this may be the case with many retailers) but not before then. Depends how we go and how many people actually obide by the rules of lockdown and Isolation. Some have been treating this like an effing holiday!
The RSC have my Rolex but it was through W.O.S and I can't get it back directly from them when it's done becouse written authorization is required from W.O.S... And they're shut.

It’s good you got a call for pick up already, expecting my AD’s call, still on the wait list, the world issue is already affecting by causing delays.
